Make classic French toast that is golden brown and perfectly fluffy in under 20 minutes using simple ingredients. This is the best homemade French toast for a quick breakfast or easy weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick bread (like Brioche or Texas Toast)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for the griddle
  • Optional toppings: Maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined. This creates your simple custard soak recipe.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning quickly to coat both sides. Do not let the bread soak too long; you want it coated, not soggy.
  4. Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slice and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or day-old bread.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
  • To keep a large batch warm while you finish cooking, place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
